[birdky] RPT: Louisville Nature Center 09/17; Hooded Warbler

I went to the Louisville Nature Center before work yesterday for a few minutes 
and again in the evening for a few hours.  I didn't see anything too 
spectacular, and lighting was bad for identification, but the birds were out 
and it was nice to just be out after a long absence.  Birds seen in the morning 
not seen in the evening were Common Nighthawk, Black-and-White Warbler and a 
very fidgety Vermivora sp. I never got a good look at that I thought might be a 
Nashville Warbler. The list:
